2008 Winner: Jim Mountain - Dellow Mk1 - on Webley's Wobble, Bingham Woods 




The 10th modern running of Falcon Motor Club’s March Hare Trial, the only Classic Reliability Trial to be held in the Chilterns, took place on Sunday, 9th March 2008.

This year saw a major milestone being passed as 2008 was the 50th anniversary of the very first March Hare Trial. Remarkably the modern event still uses some of the sections from the very first event.

The trial followed the format of previous years, and as usual provided competitors with an enjoyable full days sport in the lovely Chiltern countryside. 13 competitive sections and two special tests were on offer, which provided a challenge to both novice and experienced drivers. 2008 saw the introduction of two new long sections on byways.

The organising team every year comprises well known and experienced trials competitors, thus guaranteeing a superb event which is held in the beautiful countryside of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

The start was again at the Watling Street Truck Stop, very close to the M1 junction 8. Thanks go to June Wynne for allowing use of the facilities.

The finish was at the Bull Inn in the High Street, Redbourn just a couple of miles down the road from the start.

The event was open to all members of clubs belonging to the ACTC, although the event is not a championship round. The Clubsport section was open to Falcon Motor Club members and members of Stroud & District MC, MGCC, VSCC and the MCC who did not hold an MSA competition licence.
